Keep in mind I am comparing the free version of imag-r here, which is what most folks use. Yes, you pay for the full version and get lots more function, but why would you want to pay for software when you already have great photo software already built into Lightburn??

[christopherlongstaff]

I am a newbe and you are helping so much if only my teacher where more like you when I was at school thank you

[Essentialvideophoto]

Hi Rich. You are very humble man, everybody say that you are a master of Lightburn and that's what it is, don't denied it. We love how you run the
classes every time, no mater what subject or project you may be talking about. Therefore you have so many people here trying to learn from the best, You. I was waiting for this video to learn about your technic on how to engrave pictures now, after watching your video everything seems to be so easy even though there is so much more to learn yet. Thank you so much for your awesome class. Cheers

[bobsberders]

Thanks, Rich, for everything you do. I like your demeanor and the subjects you choose to cover. You are very much appreciated.

Regards,
Pete

Rich, you might think this is a long video but I for one appreciate the detail of instruction and it gives me the why of a process. It helps me learn and adapt this to my own projects. I love the tip about presets and that will help me so much. Keep'em coming!

[svedalawoodcrafts]

Your video's are very well explained with all the extra goody info. Thank you!

[kidcrz]

Thank you for the informative videos you create; they are truly appreciated. I hope it's not too forward of me to ask, but would it be possible for me to obtain a copy of your Lightburn Art Library? I would be very grateful and compensate you.

[tanjarodriguez]

Wow, THANK YOU SO MUCH for explaining all that. I have a whole new understanding of laser engraving. You are amazing

[stevenaoliver]

Thanks so much, i cannot tell you how much that little info on masking changed my interpretation of photo burning. Wow!!🎉

[diannemailloux]

I refer to you as the guru! My dog is black and I have failed trying to engrave. I can’t wait to put these teachings to use on my next practice time with her pic. Thank you so much!

[sandysharon]

I love your humble laugh. Thank you for your time ❤

[roxybee]

Your an EXCELLENT teacher! I'm totally new to this and very much appreciate your help. Thank You So Much 🏆

[nicholasscaffetta]

Thank you for showing us how to improve our photo burning tecniques.

[juniorrod]

Thanks Rich for the great tutorial. I have an image on a project and when I adjust the image, the preview turns into a black square. Any tips?

[gordangraham]

Just want to thank you for sharing all this information. Always great content.

[rikveldeman]

Hi Rich, if you are not an expert I don't know why we would need experts. This is the type of video giving the necessary tips and tools to start photo engraving and to develop it further. Great stuff, thanks.

[PathinAZ]

Great info.
For anyone wanting to take pics to use, (most phones can do this as digital cameras do). shoot your photo (and edit the photo) in .RAW format. This will (basically) separate all tones into individual editable areas. This will enable you to (only) brighten the darkest areas and take down the highlights (and midtones) without affecting the whole photo.
Hope this helps somewhat.
Cheers

[terrykja]

Thanks for the video. Hopefully it will help me get better results when engraving photos. I did download the Veronica folder and have a question. I imported the image into LightBurn and applied the Veronica preset. When I preview the job it looks terrible. I can not really even see the image.

[sicciful]

hello rich.
this video is great again. you put a lot of time into it even if it is your hobby. you take the time to show these videos and pass them on to us, that made me a petreon of your work that you always tell us really beautiful lessons and very understandable and instructive.
thanks for that.

As a retired airline pilot who used to bid my layovers in New Orleans for the food I would have bid it now in order of hopefully meeting you. Too late!
